Homeward Bound Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCAC DEEFDF

After long labouring in the windy waysA
On smooth and shining tidesB
Swiftly the great ship glidesB
Her storms forgot her weary watches pastC
Northward she glides and through the enchanted hazeA
Faint on the verge her far hope dawns at lastC
-
The phantom sky line of a shadowy downD
Whose pale white cliffs belowE
Through sunny mist aglowE
Like noon day ghosts of summer moonshine gleamF
Soft as old sorrow bright as old renownD
There lies the home of all our mortal dreamF

Henry John Newbolt, Sir
